Shareholder Perks

Pincher

I'm think of putting some money into a S&S ISA, mainly for shareholder perks. I lose money every time I dabble in the stock market, so it's not for investment purposes.


The money sections do a round up of shareholder perks once in a while, but I haven't seen one for a while.


I think the leisure industries is going to get a boost from the pension freedom flood of fun money, so if I buy some P&O shares, do I get discount/upgrade on a cruise?

You can try an online guide like http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shareholder-perks

As you appear to recognise buying shares just for the perks isn't necessarily a good investment - and sometimes the prices you get as a member of the public are better than shareholders are offered.

If buying in an ISA or nominee account, check with your broker that they will pass the perks on to you - not all will - and some companies may need you to hold a paper certificate..
